Fair Credit Reporting
Act
The Fair Credit
Reporting Act (FCRA) is a collection of laws enacted by the Federal
Trade Commission to govern the actions of Credit Reporting Agencies
(CRAs).
The FCRA was
created to promote accuracy and ensure the privacy of the information
used in consumer reports.
Businesses that
supply information about you to CRAs and those that use consumer
reports also have responsibilities under the law.
The FCRA is
enforced by the Federal Trade Commission.
For further
details, you can find the complete text of the FCRA on the Federal
Trade Commission's web site: http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fcra.htm
